Frequently Asked Questions: Candle Safety

    • Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn.

    • Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar during the first burn to help prevent tunneling.

    • Burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time.

    • Discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains in the bottom of the jar.

  • Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, fans, curtains, and anything flammable. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

  • No - Never leave a burning candle unattended or while sleeping. Always extinguish your candle before leaving the room.

  • A small "mushroom" on the wick is normal and can happen as the candle burns! Simply allow the candle to cool, trim the wick back to ¼ inch, and relight for a cleaner, more even burn.

  • Keeping the wick properly trimmed, allowing a full melt pool during the first burn, and avoiding overly long burn sessions will help your candle burn more evenly and maximize its lifespan.
